Giving

A foundation of giving.

At Emerson Hospital, donations are our lifeblood. Without your generosity, we wouldn’t be able to deliver the outstanding medical care our patients deserve. It’s what drives us forward and keeps our community thriving. In fact, it’s what started it all.

The need for high-quality health care motivated Charles Emerson to make the founding donation that created non-profit Emerson Hospital in 1911. Today, we continue his legacy thanks in part to the many people who support the hospital through tax-deductible donations. When you make a gift to Emerson Hospital, you become our partner in ensuring the finest health care available.

There are many ways to give.

Donations to Emerson are both greatly appreciated—and easy. Make a gift online or send a check to Emerson Health Care Foundation at 133 Old Road to Nine Acre Corner, Concord, MA 01742. Below are some examples of giving opportunities.
